Joana was a fantastic...

Joana was a fantastic guide! This was my favorite experience in Puerto Vallarta. The tour took us to several delicious, authentic local eateries and all the stops were able to accommodate my pescatarian diet. Big thanks to Joana for being such a kind and informative tour guide!

Tacos with Al

Al was very personable and shared interesting details about Puerta Vallarta and its history. The food was excellent and my husband is now a real fan of Mexican tacos. Our only suggestion would be to end the tour where it began to make it easier for travelers to return to their drop off points.

Do this tour first, and eat well for the rest of your trip.

The taco tour was fantastic. Our guide, Al, was knowledgeable about both the food and Puerto Vallarta. Al was accommodating and made sure everyone was comfortable. The tour lasted over 3 hours, and I was worried we might get too hot from all the walking and being outside, but it was arranged so we had chances to cool off. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in trying local food.

Filling and delicious

Our guide, Brenda, was phenomenal. She was quick to answer all of our questions regarding the food, restaurants, and history of the city. I was stuffed by the end of the tour and so was my boyfriend. It was very hot walking around the city, so bring a fan/hat/water.
